That makes sense, I am remember contacting too many too good to be true ads without response. I came here to save $ but I guess I will spend more thanks to this thread

Anybody managed to negotiate price of rent before choosing the place? What is the strategy there?

yeah, partitioning is very good at almost any level, with very few exceptions. Sharding on other hand is pure tradeoff, I haven't looked into hard, but I guess 1 computer, where database sits, cannot have unlimited RAIDs of hard drive

Does sharding work for splitting DWH tables? I guess it has to, but whats strategy there, if its mostly about "slicing and dicing" in every way possible. Maybe recent vs. historical data, or some known customer segments, extracted

I guess they had their place in some point and time, but I still vividly remember my old manager speaking about building OLAP cube in 2018. https://www.holistics.io/blog/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-olap-...

Yes, its similar path that I am taking (while leading BI in my org.) Having first sights of self-service from analysis perspective is super easy thanks to tools like metabase. For bringing data in, thats completely different story, especial

So if I understand this correctly, data mesh is just data mart, that doesn't bring data in database as a table, but uses S3 storage instead (I assume because thats cheaper in the cloud?)

Reminds me of first OLAP cubes a lot, something that consultant online praise as much as possible, just so then 3-4 years later they are contracted by the company to fix the mess it created.

what type of company you are working for? Usually there is not even CIO, I haven't even heard about company with both CDO and CDEO (or even CDEO itself). I thought big portion of need that data mesh fills is the organizations who are

There are tons of cases when it's morally ethical and positive thing to do. Goverments have option to do just blanket ban, but not consider individual cases. E.g. you want to support independent reporters in Russia. What can you do? S

Thats because nobody refutes those points. Yes, transactions in crypto are irreversible. It might be bad for those number of factors. But even given those cons we see benefits in things mentioned above. E.g. my colleague can send bitcoin

I am realistically wondering now, what changes does this bring. If London won't be interesting anymore for oligarchs, what will happen with prices of accomodation in center? If Switzerland is not a neutral country anymore, where will

Wow, suddenly staying on-prem with old rusty Jenkins is not so bad. (It has its issues, but at least I had better service levels in last 12 months)

What makes you think that it wouldn't be the same if we had European army? You may have high trust in EU if you are from France, Germany or Belgium. But as somebody from V4, I don't feel that we have big enough representation ther

by i_like_waiting 5y ago
Because for army issues we have NATO already and keep in mind that positions in EU parliament are chosen and voted for by politicians only, not by people. So in the end this army would be used 90% to stop protests against EU in countries, l

No, we don't want that over here. I prefer to have US troops here than troops who are paid/ controlled by Brussel politicians that are disconnected from reality.

Okay, but in comparison whats easier, spend 3-5 hours to set up a crypto wallet or few weeks investigating e-residency, applying for it, then opening bank account. People think that e-residency is just a breeze to do, but people who try, di

afaik its complicated to create bank account in country where you don't live no? I always had to provide proof of address or something, from that country, which is complicated if you are not millionaire with property here and there.

I am not, you can add it as a data point. Its just work, you are probably not caring about your manager outside of your performance review. And thats fair.

GDPR, as UK has its own rules (maybe it would be okay as well, but our legal team has huge backlog and for now on-premises works just fine)

Yeah, HN really likes: Postgres, Rust, Linux, Hetzner topics dislikes: google search, crypto, aws outages I would (and will) jump on Hetzner as soon as they build datacenter in UK. Seems like amazing cloud alternative for companies that can

To be or to become. Very soon I will dismiss somebody for first time in my life, I feel very sorry on personal level, but every day I am detaching my emotions more and more from that decision. Its business, it is what it is.

It's crazy how many options it opens. With combination of remote work, many areas that were effectively shielded off from digital nomads, now have a chance to attract those tourists. I remember as well rejecting lots of vacation place

Exactly, there is saying that money cannot buy you happiness. But they really can, at least to the point where you can get rid of necessary routines. I guess up to the point where you can afford to use uber always, so you can spend time in

Nope, people need to measure things they do in opportunity costs. I pay my housemate to clean common spaces instead of me, when its my turn. As long as I use that time to work on personal project/ leetcode (anything but watching netfli

Too many people that I know are cooking every day, using vacuum instead of roomba, doing those small innocent things that "everybody does". Then at the end of the day they don't have time for activities that have real potent
